I made it look like my gf told someone to seethe and cope over slur discourse how's everypony else doing tonight
I guess I wrote most of my thoughts in the notes oops
#I feel bad atm#But its a bit strange going into someone's inbox to day you can't use the word lesbo#Like.#I hate being called a faggot or fag#But I know lots of people who love it and fully use it#So just seeing the word is whatever#Like I get that its a slur and in general don't use slurs towards someone if they don't want it yknow#Some people hate the term queer and I'll not call them queer but I'll be dead in the grave before someone stops me from#Using that word#People on the internet reclaiming slurs and you seeing it isn't an us problem thats more a you not using the app well at that point#Filter words out you hate seeing its not that hard#And don't get mad at dykes and lesbos for using terms they love#I'll reiterate what I said in that post but in a nicer way:#People and culture shape words and not the other way around#Words will be altered slightly and new words will be made and language will evolve#If you hate a word for past meanings and you hate it- cool! Don't use the word and ask people to not call you it/use it if you're around#But don't go around asking people on the internet to not use the word because it used to be something different#And no stuff like gay/trans panic is NOT something people can use#Because it is STILL used in the world to actively hurt queer people for bullshit defenses in courts#Queer isn't some sort of active thing being used to literally get people absolved of murdering queer people#But trans and gay panic are#There's a difference.
